[Bug 771905] Re: No logo at boot on nvidia card

[Luigi Pezzotta]

Yes, in Maverick it behaved differently. Plymouth used the "text" ubuntu
logo instead of the graphical one, but it worked as expected in every
other respect. By tweaking manually, you could have the graphical logo.

In Natty, absolutely nothing is displayed most of the time, just a
purple screen. However, sometimes (at shutdown, mostly, but not at every
shutdown in my case), the graphical logo is shown as normal. This means
that plymouth doesn't use the text logo this time, so the bug is
probably not the same.

Also, as noted by Psychotron, the guides for solving the Maverick bug
don't work for this particular one in Natty.

Title:
  No logo at boot on nvidia card

Status in The Plymouth splash screen:
  Confirmed
Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  Hello,
  I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS, with proprietary drivers, and I am using Ubuntu Natty.

  Since I updated to Natty (it was the Beta 2 version), plymouth only
  shows a purple screen, without logo and without dots. It's simply
  purple.

  Note that, before updating, I had already solved the issue which
  prevented to show the Ubuntu logo theme with proprietary drivers on
  Nvidia cards, so I don't think it's related (unless some of the files
  I modified were reset during the update, I don't know). This time,
  however, I don't even get the "default" text theme.
